Remember when McGahn nominated that unfortunate dope for a big appeals court position who had never even filed a motion in any court? He may have sat down in a court and listened to the lawyers talking but not BEEN a lawyer in a courtroom. Plus he's all red like Brett Kavanaugh. These two things about him make me feel there's a lot of mystery about him that will burst out someday.

I'm totally impressed and awed. Speaking for myself. Also look at that plain language. Great.

I try to picture him saying to his negroes, "It's not time yet."

Nobody is offended to think there are organizations that wrestle deluded people out of cults, and no one doubts that doctors and lawyers can be pushed into rehab by their colleagues. So I think the Bar Assoc. should get rid of Barr today, just for being a twisted guy IN THE LAW. Once he started blabbing about religion-- or deciding what the Mueller Report said-- just being the bullshit artist in fraudulent ways, the Bar Assoc. should speak up. I hate how men stick together because they want to be good fellows or whatever it is.

yes it sounds like a cry for help from that lawyer. Like 'Mom, I want to come home.' It must be tough to have to say crap all day.

There's a connection between those two. And why Republicans are always being unmasked as lying scammers with weird sex lives. They put up those absolutist facades in the first place, which aren't very lifelike, so then it's worse when it turns out they like to put on diapers and get punched in the nose by teenaged prostitutes. Left wing people don't. Haven't you noticed that?

No, but it has been linked to Adderall abuse.

... then we can start all over again when he [McGahn] asserts executive privilege in answer to every single question, including the location of his office.

One solution would be to include in the articles of impeachment an obstruction-of-justice charge based on the incident, to call McGahn as a witness at the trial in the senate, and to have Chief Justice Roberts overrule the privilege claim on the spot on the basis that it was waived during the Mueller investigation and is subject to the crime-fraud exception under US v. Nixon.
